China Essay

The musician touching all(prenominal) wrong note now and then to get Chou Yus circumspection describes not only the characters themselves, but also, it describes well the dramatic situation between the two characters.The musician, although human and prone to error, committed errors by playing wrong notes every now and then.

In this period, the political science tried to pass a law forcing women to wear hats and veils to promote decency but failed. Women were much empowered in this time, wearing caps and sometimes, even no hats at all. They wore mens riding clothes and boots and tight-s leeved bodices.
